Birthday: Wolfgang Ambros

Happy 73rd Birthday (March 19, 2025) to my second-most favorite Austrian pop singer-songwriter and guitarist: Wolfgang Ambros. He released his first album in 1972, and he is still releasing albums and performing concerts.

I became a fan of Ambros in the early 1980s at about the same time I became a fan of Rainhard Fendrich, my favorite Austrian pop singer-songwriter and guitarist. I have many of Ambros' CDs. I have 49 of Fendrich's CDs. (I was on one of my seven journeys to Austria to visit my many Austrian cousins and to go skiing in the Austrian Alps with them.)

I attended a concert by Fendrich in Vienna, Austria, on October 30, 1997, with about 16,000 other fans. Ambros was a surprise guest that evening. He joined Fendrich on stage to sing one song with him.

Here is a link to (probably) my favorite Ambros song: "Du Verstehst Mi Ned." It was released in 1984. It's definitely my favorite Ambros music video. The ending is funny. (There is a bit of dialogue before the song begins.)
